Does she have a urinary tract infection? If so, she can't help it. UTI's are VERY painful and the frequent urination is an illness, not a misbehavior.
My dog had a flaming UTI at 9 weeks that lasted almost 3 months. It was very difficult to deal with and I was concerned it would affect her house training on down the road. It didn't. It was hard to constantly have to scoop her up and whisk her outside, but we survived it and once the UTI cleared up, no problems with house training at all.
Don't punish her at all if this is from a UTI. Just whisk her up, take her outside, and praise her to the heavens for going out there. If you punish her in any way, she won't understand it at all because she can't help it at all and all you will have done is drive a stake into the trust between you and her. |
